ABSTRACT

As another round of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks faltered on Wednesday, a growing number of Israelis and Palestinians say that the status quo is rapidly approaching a point at which establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel is impossible or unrealistic.

The article discusses the relationship between the U.S. and Israel, the failure of the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and the differences in the U.S. and Israel's views on the Israeli-Palestinian issues and the tensions between Ukraine and Russia.
